The ward politicians in the Eastern cities are busily at work fixing up things for the nomination of General Grant by the Republican party for President. Up to the present time we have not seen anything in General Grant's political career that warrants us iu believing that he is fully committed to the interests ol the Republican party. It is true that we have no grounds for believing that he favors the policy ol Mr. Johnson, and that we have unmistakable prools that his sympathies arc with Congress in their plan of reconstruction, yet we cauuot see our way clear why he should lie thrust upon the party as the standard bearer In the uext Presidential cam paign. General Grant undoubtedly showed considerable genius as a military leader, but does It follow lrom that that he has the necessary talent to qualify him for the position ol a political leader. While the Republican party have within its ranks men of acknowledged ability, we are opposed, for the sake of expediency, to its taking up a man for President merely because he has won renown on the Held of bat tle. It Is right that the nation should honor its heroes, but we do not believe any necessity exists in the present ease that we should elevate a man to the position of President merely because lie has done bravely as a sol dier. Something more is required from a i President than thatAc should know how to command au army. The Executive depart ment has been so badly managed since President Johnson took the reins of Government into his hands that it will require a man of no ordinary ability to ugain set the wheels of Government In proper motion. Is General Grant equal to the task V Up to the present time we have no proofs that he is. If the Republican party Intends to follow up the plan of nominating candidates for office on the score of expediency, it had better' prepare its tombstone, and inscribe on it for un epitaph : "Died of expediency." From the llucyrus Journal. The Presidency. We have already said that we deemed the discussion of Presidential candidates premature. Some of our exchanges have hoisted the name of General Grant, and we offer a few suggestions for serious consideration. By some of our party the recent cheek we have experienced has been timorously exaggerated into an overwhelming defeat. Following this cheek so directly the announcement or General Grant's name sounds like a wail of despair, and he is made to appear rather as a forlorn hope than as the triumphant representative of the great National Re publican party that has saved the Lnlon. Democracy has kept its ignorant masses banded together by declaring that our party was based on the negro, that he was the alpha, the soul aud the omega of our party Those who have, lu so peculiar a nianner.be. come suddenly impressed with the feeling that Grant Is our only choice, seem to declare that Democracy Is right, and that the recent elections show' that the dissolution of our party Is at hand unless we nominate Grant, We protest against the Inference. We protest also against the forcing of our great party into the alternative presented by these exhibitions of preference. w The Forum of last week contains the fol lowing : "That Chase Is killed off and no longer even a possible President is now admitted by all It Is a grand achievement to have put this vll lain under the political sod.' It also suvs: "In their despair, the Republicans at Wash ington, Columbus uud elsewhere are unniil moiis in their determination for Grant for President." It only says In a most contemptible and Indecent manner what other less dlsrcputu ble papers say less contemptibly. We com- mend these utterances to the serious conside ration of those who have become so suddenly anxious to see General Grant nominated and we should like them to examine and satisfy themselves whether they are doing our glo. rions party Justice when they, by their proceedings Join with ami conilrm the Democracy In such assertions as those above quoted. ' We appreciate the high character of General Grunt. We profess a warm regnrd for him, and an exalted admiration of his character as a patriot and as a military man. The nation needs him, and needs him more Imperatively lu his present position than any other man. While his friends claim his sym pathies arc with the nation, his enemies are unable to point to a single expression that Is leclsive nl hls political opinions, lie thus stands before the nation perfect as a military mnu, uuproiiouiieed lu uls political pretercn-ces and devoted only to the exulted discharge r his duties, bhouldany danger arise, he would command a larger share ol the respect uud confidence or the nation than any other man, and he thus stands between the nation and danger. He is neither fiery, nor brilliant, nor erratic nor pronounced ; but he is linn, cautious, resolute mid reserved, und with those admirable qualities he Is so valuable and lmiortaiit to the nation, at this crisis, that It would be the most Impolitic act to remove him from his present Important position uiiltl reconstruction be fully accom plished and the impending perils have passed away, for we could not supply his place. lie has every prospect toool a long ami useful lite before him.

From the Miami Union. The Next Presidency. Movements are makiug in various parts of tho country in favor of t!:e nomination of Gen. Grant us the Union Republican candidate for the next Presidency. Some papers prominent, amongst them the New York Tribune are out for Judge Chase for the nomination. As we have made up our mind to support the nominee ot the National Union Republican Convention, whether it be Grant, Chase, Wade or any other good and true man, we feel that we can wait patiently till the proper time. We are for the the best man that can beat the rebel Democracy. We believe we have many in our party of this kind, and when one Is selected uccordiug to the usages of the party, we hope to be in a position "to give mm a hearty support. W itli no personal interest in the success of any particular man, but with strong faith that a good selection will be mailed we have no desire or intention of committing ourselves to any particular candidate in advance. DEATnoK a Veteran Soldier. On Sat urday night last aslek and disabled soldier presented himself at the station house and requested the privilege of sleeping there, as he had not the money to pay for a night's lodging at a hotel. He was permitted to remain, and provisions were supplied him during yesterday. Throughout the day he appeared very stupid, as i:' under the influence of opium. He ate, however, as readily as a well and hearty man, aud no apprehension was caused by the svmptoms alluded to. This morning at 8'.-; o'clock he died. Dr. Nolan was present at the time of his death, and, we understand, pronounced the cause congestion of the brain. 1 he man had no money, aud but a few loose scraps of paper on his person. From two of these it appeared that his name was Mlver Willis although another paper con taining the names of persons in Sinlthboro,' Tioga county, New York, who who had sub scribed to aid a sick soldier in reaching Columbus, Ohio, Indicated that he was known by the name ot William O. smith. The man represented that he was from Georgia, and on his way to Illinois. Me was dressed in a dark brown suit; was about 21 years of age; had hazel eyes, brown hair, light complexion. Among his papers was a prescription given Dr. I. J. Bowen place not stated. Another paper, much worn, certified to the good character of "Oliver Willis, a sick and disabled soldier, of the 1st Pcnu. Cavalry," and states that he was a prisoner at Audersonville lor 17 months. '1 he unfortunate man iurormed Capt.

Some of onr "Democratic" friends deny that, when the irrepressible " Jewries'' mentioned the killing of President Lincoln, in his speech on Thursday night at the Copperhead "drunk- lllcatlon, his words were applauded, or that any one cried "good !" "good !" Very well, here Is the proot: We were standing within a few feet of the speaker, and heard It with our own ears, and us additional proof refer all "anxious Inquirers" to the following gentlemen, who also heard it: B.

That the assassination of President Lincoln, by a Democratic, cowardly murderer, was publicly applauded at the "Democratic Jollification" in front of the Court House, In MeConnelsviUe, ou the evening of October 17th, lisii, is an un-deulableifct, substantiated by many respectable witnesses ; deny it as some may, the tact is ou record, and tke "damned spot will not out."

The ward politicians in the Eastern cities are busily at work fixing up things for the nomination of General Grant by the Republican party for President. Up to the present time we have not seen anything in General Grant's political career that warrants us iu believing that he is fully committed to the interests ol the Republican party. It is true that we have no grounds for believing that he favors the policy ol Mr. Johnson, and that we have unmistakable prools that his sympathies arc with Congress in their plan of reconstruction, yet we cauuot see our way clear why he should lie thrust upon the party as the standard bearer In the uext Presidential cam paign. General Grant undoubtedly showed considerable genius as a military leader, but does It follow lrom that that he has the necessary talent to qualify him for the position ol a political leader. While the Republican party have within its ranks men of acknowledged ability, we are opposed, for the sake of expediency, to its taking up a man for President merely because he has won renown on the Held of bat tle. It Is right that the nation should honor its heroes, but we do not believe any necessity exists in the present ease that we should elevate a man to the position of President merely because lie has done bravely as a sol dier. Something more is required from a i President than thatAc should know how to command au army. The Executive depart ment has been so badly managed since President Johnson took the reins of Government into his hands that it will require a man of no ordinary ability to ugain set the wheels of Government In proper motion. Is General Grant equal to the task V Up to the present time we have no proofs that he is. If the Republican party Intends to follow up the plan of nominating candidates for office on the score of expediency, it had better' prepare its tombstone, and inscribe on it for un epitaph : "Died of expediency." From the llucyrus Journal. The Presidency. We have already said that we deemed the discussion of Presidential candidates premature. Some of our exchanges have hoisted the name of General Grant, and we offer a few suggestions for serious consideration. By some of our party the recent cheek we have experienced has been timorously exaggerated into an overwhelming defeat. Following this cheek so directly the announcement or General Grant's name sounds like a wail of despair, and he is made to appear rather as a forlorn hope than as the triumphant representative of the great National Re publican party that has saved the Lnlon. Democracy has kept its ignorant masses banded together by declaring that our party was based on the negro, that he was the alpha, the soul aud the omega of our party Those who have, lu so peculiar a nianner.be. come suddenly impressed with the feeling that Grant Is our only choice, seem to declare that Democracy Is right, and that the recent elections show' that the dissolution of our party Is at hand unless we nominate Grant, We protest against the Inference. We protest also against the forcing of our great party into the alternative presented by these exhibitions of preference. w The Forum of last week contains the fol lowing : "That Chase Is killed off and no longer even a possible President is now admitted by all It Is a grand achievement to have put this vll lain under the political sod.' It also suvs: "In their despair, the Republicans at Wash ington, Columbus uud elsewhere are unniil moiis in their determination for Grant for President." It only says In a most contemptible and Indecent manner what other less dlsrcputu ble papers say less contemptibly. We com- mend these utterances to the serious conside ration of those who have become so suddenly anxious to see General Grant nominated and we should like them to examine and satisfy themselves whether they are doing our glo. rions party Justice when they, by their proceedings Join with ami conilrm the Democracy In such assertions as those above quoted. ' We appreciate the high character of General Grunt. We profess a warm regnrd for him, and an exalted admiration of his character as a patriot and as a military man. The nation needs him, and needs him more Imperatively lu his present position than any other man. While his friends claim his sym pathies arc with the nation, his enemies are unable to point to a single expression that Is leclsive nl hls political opinions, lie thus stands before the nation perfect as a military mnu, uuproiiouiieed lu uls political pretercn-ces and devoted only to the exulted discharge r his duties, bhouldany danger arise, he would command a larger share ol the respect uud confidence or the nation than any other man, and he thus stands between the nation and danger. He is neither fiery, nor brilliant, nor erratic nor pronounced ; but he is linn, cautious, resolute mid reserved, und with those admirable qualities he Is so valuable and lmiortaiit to the nation, at this crisis, that It would be the most Impolitic act to remove him from his present Important position uiiltl reconstruction be fully accom plished and the impending perils have passed away, for we could not supply his place. lie has every prospect toool a long ami useful lite before him.

From the Miami Union. The Next Presidency. Movements are makiug in various parts of tho country in favor of t!:e nomination of Gen. Grant us the Union Republican candidate for the next Presidency. Some papers prominent, amongst them the New York Tribune are out for Judge Chase for the nomination. As we have made up our mind to support the nominee ot the National Union Republican Convention, whether it be Grant, Chase, Wade or any other good and true man, we feel that we can wait patiently till the proper time. We are for the the best man that can beat the rebel Democracy. We believe we have many in our party of this kind, and when one Is selected uccordiug to the usages of the party, we hope to be in a position "to give mm a hearty support. W itli no personal interest in the success of any particular man, but with strong faith that a good selection will be mailed we have no desire or intention of committing ourselves to any particular candidate in advance. DEATnoK a Veteran Soldier. On Sat urday night last aslek and disabled soldier presented himself at the station house and requested the privilege of sleeping there, as he had not the money to pay for a night's lodging at a hotel. He was permitted to remain, and provisions were supplied him during yesterday. Throughout the day he appeared very stupid, as i:' under the influence of opium. He ate, however, as readily as a well and hearty man, aud no apprehension was caused by the svmptoms alluded to. This morning at 8'.-; o'clock he died. Dr. Nolan was present at the time of his death, and, we understand, pronounced the cause congestion of the brain. 1 he man had no money, aud but a few loose scraps of paper on his person. From two of these it appeared that his name was Mlver Willis although another paper con taining the names of persons in Sinlthboro,' Tioga county, New York, who who had sub scribed to aid a sick soldier in reaching Columbus, Ohio, Indicated that he was known by the name ot William O. smith. The man represented that he was from Georgia, and on his way to Illinois. Me was dressed in a dark brown suit; was about 21 years of age; had hazel eyes, brown hair, light complexion. Among his papers was a prescription given Dr. I. J. Bowen place not stated. Another paper, much worn, certified to the good character of "Oliver Willis, a sick and disabled soldier, of the 1st Pcnu. Cavalry," and states that he was a prisoner at Audersonville lor 17 months. '1 he unfortunate man iurormed Capt.

Some of onr "Democratic" friends deny that, when the irrepressible " Jewries'' mentioned the killing of President Lincoln, in his speech on Thursday night at the Copperhead "drunk- lllcatlon, his words were applauded, or that any one cried "good !" "good !" Very well, here Is the proot: We were standing within a few feet of the speaker, and heard It with our own ears, and us additional proof refer all "anxious Inquirers" to the following gentlemen, who also heard it: B. F. Power, (dem.) Thomas Nott, Joseph Smith, A. Kahler, Head, aud others. That the assassination of President Lincoln, by a Democratic, cowardly murderer, was publicly applauded at the "Democratic Jollification" in front of the Court House, In MeConnelsviUe, ou the evening of October 17th, lisii, is an un-deulableifct, substantiated by many respectable witnesses ; deny it as some may, the tact is ou record, and tke "damned spot will not out."

In entire keeping, a; i, with the above, Is the fact that a very pro: : inent anil large leading "Democrat" Marlon township rode through the streets of Pennsvilln on the night alter the election (Oct. 9), yelling defiance at the Union loving people of that place, and hurrahing at the top of his voice for Jeff.
